I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.

Cause I enjoy both, I enjoy recording and playing live, but yeah, the rush of playing live is really something.

Sometimes I'll get a burst when I write lyrics, it usually happens in 20 minutes and I'll write the whole song, and that's really the only way it feels comfortable.

We have no sociology of architecture. Architects are unaccustomed to social analysis and mistrust it; sociologists have fatter fish to fry.

If you start your own thing, you can learn a lot really fast from doing things wrong.

Of course, plenty of people don't think that guaranteeing affordable health insurance is a core responsibility of government.

Together we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse.

The world is in balance . To light a candle is to cast a shadow.

A goal is simply a dream with a deadline.
